Back Country Dig

Welcome to the Yosemite Geology and Legends Dig

Camp Internet Guides: . . . . Tue, Oct 2, 7:37AM PST (-0800 GMT)
The California Backcountry exists because huge GEOLOGIC FORCES have been shaping these remote areas, created mountain ranges, volcanoes, deserts, rivers and lakes. The very nature of the Backcountry is that it is a rugged environment not as easily inhabited by humans, and therefore less disturbed by human presence. What makes it so rugged ? GEOLOGY! And what peoples knew how to live in balance with this rugged geology? Native Americans. In this DIG we will explore California Geology and the Miwok Indians, and how geology shaped Miwok legends.

#2 The three main types of rock on earth are Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic. Igneous is formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock. Sedimentary is made of sediments of rock that have undergone erosion from water and wind. Metamorphic rocks can be made up of a combination of Sedimentary rock and Igneous rock that underoes lots of pressure to form a new kind of rock.

We believe that the painting shows a winter time of year.The mountains are covered with snow.The trees are brown,orange,and yellow,yet the grass is still green.The river still flows,when it should be frozen.The article states that people lived on the east and west side of the lake,but the picture shows people only living on the west side of the lake.

Yosemite Valley is one of the most spectacular examples on earth of the power of geologic activity. It has been referred to as the "global masterpiece" of four awesome sculptors: earthquakes, glaciers, wind, and water. Let's learn more about this awe- inspiring geologic event - one that has taken millions of years to sculpt, and that is still changing today. We will be referring to resources provided by Yosemite National Park geologists - and talking to them online in a live chat.

Formation of the Sierra Nevada Range 200 million years ago there were two ancient tectonic plates at work in California. The oceanic plate was being pulled under the continental plate and this triggered ancient volcanic activity. Back then the Central Valley and Sierra areas were underneath the ocean (which is why your Camp ammonite fossil might have been found in California's foothills). On the floor of this ocean formed sedimentary rock washed into the ocean from the lands to the east, from what is now Nevada. When the tectonic uplift and volcanic activity took place, it started folding the soft sedimentary rock and compressed it, which started changing the sediments until they became a harder metamorphic rock that can still be seen on the surface today. This uplift and folding created a north-south low mountain range, and beneath it welled up more and more magma, working its way towards the surface. The magma's activity created a large underground granite rock mass called a batholith after 5 million years of ongoing geologic activity. This granite batholith is today the foundation of the Sierra Nevada. After another 65 million years, the batholith began to reach the surface of the earth as the softer sedimentary and metamorphic soils above it were eroded away by winds and rain. Then, the plate activity changed. Instead of having the oceanic plate pulled under - subducted - the continental plate, they started moving along side one another along what we now call the San Andreas Fault. This movement created the pressure that lead to even more of the uplifting of the batholith to become a major mountain range. As the mountains lifted up, the water run off grew faster on the more vertical inclines, and new types of erosion began to happen, creating V-shaped canyons.
